Broncos-Chiefs shifted to prime time

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In a testament to the AFC West race, the Nov. 17 game between the 7-1 Denver Broncos and 8-0 Kansas City Chiefs has been flexed into prime time by NBC.

The game, at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, will start at 8:30 p.m. ET. The game originally was slated for 4:25 p.m.

"We had originally protected the Kansas City-Denver game for Week 11," CBS Sports said in a statement. "After discussions with the NFL we made a one-time accommodation so that the game can be seen by a national audience, which we could not provide during our regionalized singleheader weekend."
